Overview

Why study the Foundation Year in Computing and Engineering at Middlesex University?

During the foundation year you will learn how computers are used by a broad range of people and organisations as well as acquiring fundamental software development skills and knowledge of hardware. You also gain relevant mathematical and statistical skills and develop useful communication skills.
If you complete this year successfully you progress directly onto any one of our three-year degree courses. The number of students who progress to degree study are very high and in fact have gone on to become some of our most successful graduates.

The foundation year is for you if:

you do not have the right qualifications for a full degree
you feel you are not yet ready for degree-level study
you are returning to study and feel you need some help to get up to speed with the demands of learning before embarking on a degree.
